Full Report Text:
Saw a very bright white light. Spotted what I thought was a very bright star at first but turned out to be moving directly overhead. No sound and it was just a very bright white light.
May have also had some red in it as well. Went directly overhead to Northeast and out of view within a 2 minute span. Saw a plane just after and it looked as if the light was actually higher than the plane.
And it was still the brightest in the sky. ((NUFORC Note: Witness elects to remain totally anonymous; provides no contact information. PD)).

Two horizontal rows of six lights each hovering about seventy-five feet in the air; seen for about ten minutes. I was returning home from church. I had turned off of Eastown Rd.
onto Allentown Rd. heading East. I noticed what appeared to be two horizontal rows of six lights each hovering in the air about 75 feet up.
As I got closer I realized that it was hovering above the area behind the Tom Ahl Chevrolet dealership on Allentown Rd. The upper lights on each end would flash intermittently. I turned into the Walmart parking lot across the road to get a better look.
When I exited my vehicle the object was gone. Other than a cart pickup who was headed in with a string of carts I was the only person in the parking lot.
